“This restaurant @ScopaRestaurant literally threw my family and I, out of their premises.So racist.So sad.You really need to treat your customers right.Very racist.

This is not okay,” she tweeted on Saturday.

The tweet received 617 likes by midnight Sunday.

But Pablo Moix, a partner in the restaurant, denied that they were thrown out of the restaurant and said that they had stayed on to finish their meal.

He told IANS that the situation arose when they were asked for their original IDs as required under state law to serve alcohol, which two people in the party had and the others only had copies of them.

The situation escalated and then “deescalated” and “they stayed and finished their meal, complimented both the waiter they had and the quality of the food”, Moix said.

“I understand that everyone is on edge” these days, he said, adding: “It was an unfortunate situation.”

Moix said that he wants them to visit the restaurant again.

In another tweet, the singer-songwriter, who is the daughter of Indian billionaire industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla, asserted that “we waited for three hours to eat at your restaurant”.

Addressing celebrity chef Antonia Lofaso in the tweet, Ananya Birla said that one of her waiters, whom she named, “was extremely rude to my mother, bordering racist.This isn’t okay”.

According to Lofaso’s website, she opened Scopa in 2013.

Lofaso has starred in “Top Chef: All Stars” and the ABC network’s sitcom, “Real O’Neals”.She has also been a judge on CNBC’s “Restaurant Startup” and is on the Food Network’s “Cutthroat Kitchen”, and “Man vs.Child”.

Lofaso has authored “The Busy Mom’s Cookbook”.

Ananya Birla’s mother Neerja asserted in a tweet: “Very shocking .absolutely ridiculous behaviour by @ScopaRestaurant.You have no right to treat any of your customers like this.”

Aryaman Birla, who is Ananya’s brother, tweeted: “I have never experienced anything of this sort.Racism exists and is real.Unbelievable.

Several people responding to the billionaire’s daughter tweet suggested that she buys the restaurant.

She tweeted a message to her fans: “I love you all so much (heart) you’ll are the best.Thank you for always protecting me! Today is a new day to create some magic! New song dropping soon
